Job Description

Advanced industrial machinery. Technical challenges. Freedom in the field.

Your role

As a Field Service Engineer, you will be responsible for installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and optimizing industrial process and packaging machinery at customer locations throughout the Randstad and surrounding regions.

You will work independently, manage your own service activities, and act as the technical point of contact for customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Installing and commissioning new industrial machinery and production lines.

• Performing preventive and corrective maintenance on process and packaging equipment.

• Diagnosing and independently resolving complex mechanical and electrical breakdowns.

• Troubleshooting PLC-controlled systems, electronics, sensors, and automation equipment.

• Working with motors, drives, mechanical components, and industrial control systems.

• Carrying out machine modifications, upgrades, and technical improvements.

• Advising customers on maintenance, machine performance, and technical optimization.

• Identifying recurring technical issues and implementing effective solutions.

• A valid Category B driving licence.

• A flexible attitude and willingness to travel to customer locations.

• Strong communication skills and a customer-focused mindset.

Experience within the food production industry is an advantage, but not essential. Experience with complex industrial process or packaging machinery is more important.

What do you get in return?

• Salary up to €4,400 gross per month, depending on experience and technical expertise.

• Your own fully equipped company service van, including professional tools and materials.

• Company laptop and mobile phone.

• Above 35 vacation days
